Charges filed against Rotorex union official placed on inactive docket
Frederick County District Court placed on the state docket Wednesday charges of disorderly conduct and hindering police against Jesse Williams, president of UE Local 133 at Rotorex. The agreement keeps charges on the books for one year then drops them if Williams avoids new offenses, in exchange for community service distributing Christmas presents to Local 133 members' children with help from the Hagerstown AFL CIO Central Council. Williams calls the deal a sign of good faith. his daughter Billie Jo Williams was reportedly involved in a September pickup line incident leading to arrests. The Rotorex dispute has fueled a prolonged labor clash with unresolved contract talks and picketing by Local 133 members.
